My boatbuilding
Boatbuilding is one of my current interests. I've just finished building Truant, a small sailing dinghy design by John Welsford. John has a large following of small boat builders keen to build and sail his traditional styled boats, using modern materials and construction methods.

Boatbuilding
Notes on my (small) boatbuilding experience and useful links etc I have found along the way.
One stage along the way

Visit John Welsford's web site for inspiration if you want to build a small wooden boat.
